Lily left the east sideBound to see the whole wide worldWho knew dreams could grow so big In the soul of such a little girl?Then she just kind of lost her way back homeMet a blue-eyed man and settled downBut he didn’t really understandLike the rest of this heartless border town

Lily when this world matches your beauty with in difference and gloomKeep on reaching for the sky anyway and bloom, Lily, bloom

Lily knew where she came from was goneAnd where she was bound wasn’t really thereShe was just looking for a place to be But had yet to find it anywhereAnd what good was being anyplaceIf you couldn’t get awaySoon that beautiful world began to turnA little more cold and grey

Lily, don’t let the passionless convince to give up your dreams too soonJust smile and make your own sunshine and bloom, Lily, bloom

Though you may find weeds and stones cluttering your gardenJust remember that poetry won’t come from a heart that is too hardened

Lily, sometimes you just have to grow where you’re planted though the shadows loomBeauty always finds a way to be so bloom, Lily, bloomJust smile and make your own sunshine and bloom, Lily, bloom
